Country/Region: South Africa
Year: 2009
Main Partner: U.S. Peace Corps
Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Own Agency
Funding Agency: enumerations.Peace Corps
Total Funding: $863,000

Funding for Sexual Prevention: Abstinence/Be Faithful (HVAB): $265,000

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

BACKGROUND: The following is added to this section: In FY 2009 Peace Corps will contract with

individuals and organizations specializing in training and conducting outreach in Abstinence and Being

Faithful (AB) activities. Priority will be given to contracting with those individuals and organizations that have

already received PEPFAR capacity development support. This will (a) strengthen and build upon previous

PEPFAR investment and (b) provide training and outreach in the communities where Peach Corps

Volunteers (PCV) live and work, allowing the PCVs to provide follow-up and document results.

Modifications to ACTIVITY 1: In FY 2009, approximately 80 PCVs and 80 counterparts will receive training

in HIV prevention. In addition to using the Peace Corps Life Skills Manual, PCVs and counterparts will be

trained to address male norms and behaviors and gender equality based on the EngenderHealth program,

Men as Partners.

Modifications to ACTIVITY 2: Approximately 80 PCVs and 80 counterparts will attend Peace Corps Project

Design and management training.

ACTIVITY 3: The COP 2008 ACTIVITY 3 has been deleted and replaced with the following activity.

Approximately 80 PCVs and 80 counterparts will attend Grant Proposal Writing, and Monitoring and

Evaluation training to enable them to prepare Volunteer Activity Support and Training (VAST) proposals for

PEPFAR and Small Grant proposals for the U.S. Embassy. The training will also support the development

and use of appropriate monitoring, reporting and evaluation tools with their host schools and civil society

organizations. This training will take place in the context of the AB prevention training and will find

application across all program areas.

ACTIVITY 5 in COP 2008 is now ACTIVITY 4 in COP 2009. The following changes have been made: (1)

Approximately 80 PCVs and 80 counterparts will deliver life skills sessions in schools and communities,

using and developing peer educators in the process; and (2) 4,000 individuals will be reached through

community outreach that promotes HIV prevention; 250 peer educators and other service providers will be

trained to promote HIV prevention.

-------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) work in civil society organizations (CSOs) that focus on HIV

and AIDS relief under the Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP) and in the education system at

the primary school and district levels under the Schools and Community Resources Project (SCRP). All

CHOP and SCRP PCVs will be encouraged to work with both in-school and out-of-school youth in delivering

Abstinence/Be Faithful (AB) messages through life skills and peer education sessions delivered in

classrooms or in association with extracurricular school activities and through community events organized

by youth and adult volunteers. Activities in this program area aim to encourage positive life styles and health

-seeking behaviors among youth and to help them develop positive gender norms and expectations. SCRP

PCVs will specialize in training teachers and mobilizing in-school youth while CHOP PCVs will focus more

on training out-of-school peer educators, community citizen volunteers, and CSO employees and mobilizing

traditional, business and religious leaders in supporting community- and school-based prevention activities.

CHOP and SCRP PCVs and their counterparts will be encouraged to work together in designing and

delivering comprehensive HIV prevention training and outreach programs in their rural communities.

Prevention training and outreach activities will be conducted in the KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, North West,

Northern Cape and Mpumalanga provinces. BACKGROUND: To date, the program in South Africa has

relied primarily on PEPFAR-funded PCVs assigned to the (previous) NGO Capacity Building Project.

Although the FY 2007 program still utilizes PEPFAR-funded PCVs, the Schools and Community Resources

Project (SCRP) and the (now) Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP) were significantly revised in

FY 2007 so that all CHOP and SCRP PCVs and their counterparts can be involved in prevention AB

activities. In FY 2008 the program will not place PEPFAR-funded PCVs and instead use PEPFAR funds to

enable all PCVs to train service providers in HIV prevention and to conduct HIV prevention outreach to

various youth groups. ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:ACTIVITY 1: HIV Prevention TrainingIn FY

2008, approximately 100 PCVs (key legislative issue) and 100 counterparts will receive training in HIV and

AIDS prevention (key legislative issue), using the Peace Corps' Life Skills Manual (an internationally

recognized best practice model) and other peer education materials. The peer education and life skills

training will focus on building skills among youth in communication, decision-making, thinking, managing

emotions, assertiveness, self-esteem building, resisting peer pressure and building relationships. ACTIVITY

2: Project Design and Management TrainingApproximately 100 PCVs and 100 counterparts will attend

Peace Corps' Project Design and Management training to develop skills in participatory development and

implementation of HIV and AIDS activities with target groups. This training will take place in the context of

the AB prevention training and will find application across all program areas. ACTIVITY 3: Organizational

Capacity Building TrainingApproximately 60 CHOP PCVs and 60 CHOP counterparts will attend

Organizational Capacity Building training to enable them to develop or strengthen policies, systems and

practices that will enable CSOs to deliver quality and sustainable HIV and AIDS programs. This training will

take place in the context of the AB prevention training and will find application across all program

areas.ACTIVITY 4: Grant Proposal Writing and Monitoring and Evaluation TrainingApproximately 100 PCVs

and 100 counterparts will attend Grant Proposal Writing and Monitoring and Evaluation training to enable

them to prepare Peace Corps PEPFAR Volunteer Activity Support and Training (VAST) proposals and U.S.

Embassy PEPFAR Small Grant proposals. The training will also support the development and use of

appropriate monitoring, reporting and evaluation tools with their host schools and CSOs. This training will

take place in the context of the AB prevention training and will find application across all program areas.

ACTIVITY 5: Delivery of Life Skills SessionsApproximately 100 PCVs and 100 counterparts will deliver life

skills sessions in schools and communities, using and developing peer educators in the process. Teachers

in the schools and supportive adults and business, traditional and religious leaders in the communities also

will be used to champion HIV and AIDS activities. Male behaviors and gender equity (key legislative issue),

reducing violence and coercion and stigma/discrimination are directly addressed in the prevention

activities. PCVs work with counterparts in the schools and communities to ensure that, on completion of

their service, their initiatives continue with school and community support. 3000 individuals will be reached

Activity Narrative: through community outreach that promotes HIV prevention and 120 peer educators and other service

providers will be trained to promote HIV prevention.Both CHOP and SCRP PCVs contribute to the US

Mission's country emphasis on prevention by uniquely providing American citizen assistance in rural

communities. Their activities are also closely aligned to the South African government strategies in each of

the provinces in which PCVs work.

Funding for Care: Adult Care and Support (HBHC): $93,000

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

In FY 2009, Peace Corps will contract with individuals and organizations with specialization in delivering

training and conducting outreach in activities with people living with HIV (PLHIV). Priority will be given to

contracting with those individuals and organizations that have already received PEPFAR-capacity

development support. This will (a) strengthened and build upon previous PEPFAR investment and (b)

provide training and outreach in the communities where Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) live and work,

allowing the PCVs to provide follow-up and document results.

ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS: In FY 2009 20 Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP)

PCVs and their counterparts will devote 50% of their time to training PLHIV caregivers, CSO employees,

and home-based care (HBC) volunteer workers in ways of addressing the needs of PLHIV and addressing

stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence (key legislative issue). While these PCVs and their

counterparts will still be engaged in organizational capacity building assistance, they will be encouraged to

become more actively involved in the above issues. In FY 2008 the program did not place PEPFAR-funded

PCVs, but instead will rely on the use of PEPFAR-funded staff to train and engage all CHOP PCVs in

palliative care and stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence reduction.

ACTIVITY 1: In FY 2009, approximately 30 PCVs and 30 counterparts will receive training in meeting the

physical and psychosocial needs of those living with HIV and AIDS, using internationally and locally

produced materials. The training will provide skills and knowledge in counseling (e.g. dealing with self-

stigma on the part of PLHIV and the negative attitudes of others), physical care (e.g., helping PLHIV in

bathing, eating, dressing, using the toilet), household assistance (e.g. cleaning, cooking, shopping, running

errands, gardening) and legal and financial assistance (e.g. government health grants).

ACTIVITY 2: Approximately 30 PCVs and 30 counterparts will receive training in addressing stigma,

discrimination and some aspects of gender-based violence, using internationally and locally produced

materials. The training will focus on combating social and self-discrimination, and physical violence directed

against PLHIV, particularly HIV-infected women, psychological intimidation (e.g. threats to harm a woman's

children, destruction of favorite clothes or photographs, repeated insults meant to demean and erode self-

esteem, forced isolation from friends and relatives, etc.

ACTIVITY 3: Approximately 30 PCVs and 30 counterparts will train 100 CSO employees, HBC volunteer

workers and PLHIV caregivers in topics addressed in Activity 1 and Activity 2. This will result in improved

palliative care provided to 500 individuals and in the strengthening of 12 HBHC service outlets.

The CHOP PCVs will primarily contribute to this program area by uniquely providing American citizen

assistance in rural communities. Their activities are also closely aligned to the South African government

strategies in each of the provinces in which PCVs work.

NOTE: PCVs involved in this program area are part of the population of PCVs who are required to

participate in Activities 2 and 4 described under the prevention program area. CHOP PCVs in this program

area are part of the population of PCVs who may participate in Activity 3 described under the prevention

program area.

------------------------------

SUMMARY:

Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs), who work in civil society organizations (CSOs) that focus on home-based

care and that address stigma and discrimination against those with HIV and AIDS, are assigned to the

Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP). PEPFAR funds will be used to train these CHOP PCVs

and their counterparts in (a) organizational capacity building-that is the strengthening of organizational and

human capacity (b) PLHIV caregiver support-that is enabling them to meet the physical and psychosocial

needs of those living with HIV and AIDS and (c) empowering CSO employees and HBC volunteer workers

to address stigma, discrimination, and gender-based violence. CSO employees and HBC volunteer

workers, who work with PLHIV caregivers, are the primary target populations for the PCVs and their

counterparts. PCVs and their counterparts may also provide direct outreach to caregivers of PLHIV. PCVs

will be primarily placed in the rural areas of North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal

provinces. Funds requested in FY 2008 will cover the costs of training of PCVs and their counterparts and,

through the VAST mechanism, the training of CSO employees, HBC volunteer workers and PLHIV

caregivers.

BACKGROUND:

To date, the program in South Africa has relied primarily on PEPFAR-funded PCVs assigned to the

(previous) NGO Capacity Building Project. Although the FY 2007 program still utilizes PEPFAR-funded

PCVs, beginning in FY 2008 there will be no PEPFAR-funded PCVs and instead PCVs and their

counterparts assigned to the (now) Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP) will be encouraged to

be involved in training and outreach activities that will enable PLHIV caregivers, HBC volunteers and CSO

employees to meet the needs of PLHIV and to address HIV and AIDS stigma, discrimination and gender-

based violence.

ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:

In FY 2008 40 CHOP PCVs and their counterparts will devote more than 50% of their time to training PLHIV

caregivers, CVO employees, and HBC volunteer workers in ways of addressing the needs of PLHIV and

addressing stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence. While these PCVs and their counterparts will

still be engaged in organizational capacity building assistance, they will be encouraged to become more

actively involved in the above issues. In FY 2008 the program will not place PEPFAR-funded PCVs and

Activity Narrative: instead will rely on the use of PEPFAR-funded staff to train and engage all CHOP PCVs in palliative care

and stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence reduction.

ACTIVITY 1:

In FY 2008, approximately 40 PCVs and 40 counterparts will receive training in meeting the physical and

psychosocial needs of those living with HIV and AIDS, using internationally and locally produced materials.

The training will provide skills and knowledge in counseling (e.g. dealing with self-stigma on the part of

PLHIV and the negative attitudes of others), physical care (e.g., helping PLHIV in bathing, eating, dressing,

using the toilet), household assistance (e.g. cleaning, cooking, shopping, running errands, gardening) and

legal and financial assistance (e.g. government health grants).

ACTIVITY 2:

Approximately 40 PCVs and 40 counterparts will receive training in addressing stigma, discrimination and

gender-based violence, using internationally and locally produced materials. The training will focus on

combating physical violence directed against PLHIV, particularly HIV-infected women, (e.g. punching,

kicking), psychological intimidation (e.g. threats to harm a woman's children, destruction of favorite clothes

or photographs, repeated insults meant to demean and erode self-esteem, forced isolation from friends and

relatives, threats of physical abuse), and financial punishment (relatives taking away property after the

death of a husband, a husband limiting or forbidding access to his income).

ACTIVITY 3:

Approximately 40 PCVs and 40 counterparts will train 100 CSO employees, HBC volunteer workers and

PLHIV caregivers in topics addressed in Activity 1 and Activity 2 above, using the PEPFAR VAST

mechanism to fund the training. Their activities are also closely aligned to the South African government

strategies in each of the provinces in which PCVs work. NOTE: PCVs involved in this program area are part

of the population of PCVs who are required to participate in Activities 2 and 4 described under the

prevention program area. CHOP PCVs in this program area are part of the population of PCVs who may

participate in Activity 3 described under the prevention program area.

These activities will contribute to the PEPFAR goal for reaching 10 million HIV-infected and affected

individuals with care through the provision of training and capacity building.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Under BACKGROUND, added: In FY 2009 Peace Corps will contract with individuals and organizations with

specialization in delivering training and conducting outreach in OVC activities. Priority will be given to

contracting with those individuals and organizations that have already received PEPFAR capacity

development support. This will (a) strengthen and build upon previous PEPFAR investment and (b) provide

training and outreach in the communities where Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) live and work, allowing the

Volunteers to provide follow-up and document results.

Changes in ACTIVITY 1: In FY 2009, approximately 30 PCVs and 30 counterparts will receive training in

meeting the physical and psychosocial needs of OVC, using internationally and locally produced materials.

Changes in ACTIVITY 2: Approximately 30 PCVs and 30 counterparts will train 50 service providers (e.g.

teachers, OVC peer educators, CSO employees, HBC volunteer workers and OVC caretakers) in topics

addressed in Activity 1. This will result in improved care provided to 3,000 OVC. PCVs and counterparts will

also directly provide outreach to OVC.

-------------------------

SUMMARY:

Thirty Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP) Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) and twenty Schools

and Community Resources Project (SCRP) PCVs will be involved in this program area. PEPFAR funds will

be used to train the CHOP PCVs and their counterparts in organizational capacity building-that is the

strengthening of organizational and human capacity. Both CHOP and SCRP PCVs will receive PEPFAR-

funded training in OVC caretaker support-that is enabling PCVs and their counterparts to develop the skills

and knowledge needed to meet the physical, psychosocial and financial needs of OVC and OVC

caretakers. Using the PEPFAR VAST mechanism, these PCVs and their counterparts will train OVC

caretakers, CSO employees and OVC volunteer workers. SCRP PCVs will specialize in training teachers

and OVC peer support groups in the schools while CHOP PCVs will focus more on the training CSO

counterparts and OVC volunteer works, and out-of-school OVC peer support groups and mobilizing

traditional, business and religious leaders in supporting community- and school-based OVC support

activities. CHOP and SCRP PCVs and their counterparts will be encouraged to work together in designing

and delivering comprehensive OVC and OVC caretaker training and outreach programs in their rural

communities. OVC training and outreach activities will be conducted in the KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, North

West, Northern Cape and Mpumalanga provinces.

BACKGROUND:

To date, the program in South Africa has relied primarily on PEPFAR-funded PCVs assigned to the

(previous) NGO Capacity Building Project. Although the FY 2007 program still utilizes PEPFAR-funded

PCVs, in FY 2008 there will be no PEPFAR-funded PCVs and instead all CHOP and SCRP PCVs will be

encouraged to be involved in training and outreach activities that will enable OVC caretakers, community

outreach volunteers and CSO employees to better meet the needs of OVC.

ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:

ACTIVITY 1:

In FY 2008, approximately 50 PCVs and 50 counterparts will receive training in meeting the physical and

psychosocial needs of OVC, using internationally and locally produced materials. The training will provide

skills and knowledge in counseling (e.g. dealing with feelings of isolation , stigma and discrimination and the

negative attitudes of others, production of memory books/boxes), physical care (e.g. helping OVC and

caretakers establish trench and raised gardens, nutrition education, training in sewing clothes), and legal

and financial assistance (e.g. helping OVC and caretakers access South African Government social grants

e.g. child-support grants and care-dependency grants).

ACTIVITY 2:

Approximately 50 PCV and 50 counterparts will train 50 teachers, OVC peer educators, CSO employees,

HBC volunteer workers and OVC caretakers in topics addressed in Activity 1, using the PEPFAR VAST

mechanism to fund the training. This will result in improved care provided to 3000 OVC. PCVs and

counterparts will also directly provide outreach to OVC. The CHOP and SCRP PCVs will contribute to this

program area of the U.S. Mission by uniquely providing American citizen assistance in rural communities.

Their activities are also closely aligned to the South African government strategies in each of the provinces

in which PCVs work.

NOTE: PCVs involved in this program area are part of the population of PCVs who are required to

participate in Activities 2 and 4 described under the prevention program area. CHOP PCVs in this program

area are part of the population of PCVs who may participate in Activity 3 described under the prevention

program area.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

In FY 2009 Peace Corps will contract with individuals and organizations with specialization in delivering

training and conducting outreach in counseling and testing (CT) activities. Priority will be given to

contracting with those individuals and organizations that have already received PEPFAR-capacity

development support. This will strengthen and build upon previous PEPFAR investment and provide

training and outreach in the communities where volunteers live and work, allowing them to provide follow-up

and document results.

In FY 2009 approximately 80 Peace Corps Volunteers and 80 counterparts will receive training in HIV/AIDS

prevention and will deliver life skills sessions in schools and the community, using and developing peer

educators in the process.

-------------------------

SUMMARY:

Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs), who work in civil society organizations (CSOs) that focus on counseling

and testing services, are assigned to the Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project (CHOP). PEPFAR funds

will be used to train these CHOP PCVs and their counterparts in (a) organizational capacity building, i.e.

strengthening organizational and human capacity; and (b) promoting counseling and testing, particularly

among youth. PCVs in this program area do not provide pre- and post-counseling service but are involved

mainly in local organization capacity development, helping their host CSOs improve their systems and

practices to motivate youth to use counseling and testing services. The primary target populations for these

interventions are CSO employees, community citizens, volunteers, and traditional, religious and business

leaders. PCVs will be placed in the rural areas of North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal

provinces. Funds requested in FY 2008 will cover the costs of training PCVs and their counterparts and,

through the Volunteer Activity Support and Training (VAST) mechanism, the training of CSO employees and

community volunteers involved in promoting counseling and testing.

BACKGROUND:

To date, the program in South Africa has relied primarily on PEPFAR-funded PCVs assigned to the

(previous) non-governmental (NGO) capacity-building project. Although the FY 2007 program still utilizes

PEPFAR-funded PCVs, beginning in FY 2008 there will be no PEPFAR-funded PCVs and instead it is

anticipated that one to four CHOP PCVs will assist CSOs with a significant need to improve their CT

capacity in reaching out to youth.

ACTIVITY 1:

As noted in the prevention program area, approximately 100 PCVs and 100 counterparts will receive

training in HIV prevention in FY 2008. They will deliver life skills sessions in schools and the community,

using and developing peer educators in the process. One to four CHOP PCVs will respond to their host

CSO wishes to strengthen their CT capacity. Through the PEPFAR VAST mechanism, these PCVs will be

able to pilot activities that will increase the number of youth who will avail themselves of counseling and

testing services. The CHOP PCVs will contribute to this program area by uniquely providing American

citizen assistance in rural communities. Their activities are also closely aligned to the South African

government strategies in each of the provinces in which PCVs work.

NOTE: PCVs involved in this program area are part of the population of PCVs who are required to

participate in Activities 2, 3, and 4 described in the Prevention program area.

Funding for Management and Operations (HVMS): $220,000

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Additionally FY 2009 PEPFAR funding will support a Monitoring and Reporting Coordinator who is

responsible for coordinating the collection of HIV/AIDS data. This entails training Peace Corps Volunteers

(PCVs) in the use of a pilot Peace Corps Volunteer reporting Tool (VRT), which is a light-weight Excel

worksheet, and ensuring that the data and narrative information is complete and accurate. At times, s/he

may have to travel extensively, especially to assist Volunteers who do not have reliable Internet connection,

to collect data using this as an opportunity to produce photographic records of HIV/AIDS activities in which

Volunteers are involved. To support the M&R work in the field, a PEPFAR-funded driver is required.

-------

PEPFAR funding supports (a) a full-time Peace Corps HIV/AIDS Program Assistant, who facilitates the

HIV/AIDS training (b) a fulltime driver to support her in implementing the workshops that will be conducted

on a quarterly or tri-annual basis for the PCVs (N=~150) and their counterparts (N=~150) in the five

provinces where PCVs live and work and (c) by a fulltime PEPFAR/VAST Coordinator who will train PCVs

and their counterparts in project design and management and project proposal writing and will be

responsible for the initial screening of proposals, monitoring project implementation, reporting on project

results, and liaising with the Task Force.
